Payments
The federal government requires 3rd party payments received by Adams State to be reported as scholarships and/or grants (Box 5). Third party payments can include veterans or vocational rehabilitation benefits, payments by employers, school districts or other private or government agencies.
COF and State Tuition Support (reciprocity) are considered third party payments and are reported on the 1098-T as scholarships and grants.
Payments received does not include amounts paid for room and board, transportation or other education expenses related to sports, games or hobbies or noncredit course(s). Although room and board cannot be included in qualified tuition and related expenses, scholarships for room and board must be included with Scholarships and Grants as they are intended to cover the student’s “cost of attendance.”
Books and other educational supplies are usually purchased directly by students from a variety of sources and, in most cases, are not included on the 1098-T.
